“…Por outro lado, esses vínculos com a Europa criaram uma outra relação entre Brasil e África do Sul quanto ao estilo arquitetônico. Os estudos das professoras Marguirete Pienaar (2018), Maria Fernanda Derntl (2019 e do professor Arthur Barker (2018) revelam isso. A influência é tal que a crítica "cunhou a denominação Little Brazil para se referir aos edifícios afinados com o modernismo carioca que se espalharam por Pretória, Joanesburgo e Cidade do Cabo" (Derntl, 2019).…”

Este artigo compara o desenvolvimento das cidades de Brasília (Brasil) e Joanesburgo (África do Sul) pela análise dos dualismos evento/cotidiano; vida e não/vida. A partir de uma metodologia histórica e à luz das teorias antropológicas, indicamos como a constituição desses dois espaços do apartheid, esses eventos e cotidianos, se relacionam pelas concretizações das utopias eugenistas que reificam pessoas já racializadas na colonização. Pessoas que continuam tendo uma função dúbia de objeto e abjeto. Assim, apontamos o cimento como ator da tecnosfera no Negroceno (FERDINAND, 2021) e, no cálculo de sua transformação em concreto, vemos como são indispensáveis as pessoas (as vidas) lidas pelo capitalismo/colonialismo como commodities (não-vida), extraídas dos resíduos dos arranjos políticos coloniais. Por fim, conceituando as cidades modernas como necrópoles, apontamos como as soluções ao colonialismo podem residir em experiências de biointeração (SANTOS, 2015) e em visões distintas do que seja corpo e espaço.

“…The Brazilian Modernist movement, which had visibly deviated from the rigid International Style, favoured the use of more organic forms, and had found a foothold with the Pretoria architects of the time. (Pienaar, 2017) • an acknowledgement of the prevailing climatic constraints that influence the requisite shading and sun-controlled devices,…”

“…The façade most accurately reflects the comparison between the two buildings. (Pienaar, 2017) Stauch synthesised a response to the "Brazilian design" by raising the office building from the ground, and he supported it on round concrete pilotis and extended the brise soleil. The roof featured a curvilinear roof garden and covered the spandrels (the eastern and western thick façades) with blue mosaic tiles.…”

“…Marguerite Pienaar argues that Eaton used this patterned and symbolism-laden design motif to give new meaning to surfaces. (Pienaar, 2017) The Round House was a house specifically designed for an artist and her family by the German architect May von Langenau. Inspired by the earlier work of Le Corbusier, and that of Mies van der Rohe, this project best reflects the more pure and machined Modernist architectural principles.…”

This article aims to make the European professional audience acquainted with the architecture of an important southern African city. Additionally, the author hopes to familiarise this audience with the cultural nuances and character of this city, while trying to maintain distance as a native of the city. South Africa is famous for its significant natural and wildlife treasures. Internationally the history of this country’s politics and developing democracy are also well known. From famous political leaders overcoming the harsh and hateful Apartheid laws to more world-renowned medical practitioners performing ground-breaking medical procedures: the impact of South African global contributions cannot be overlooked. However, there is significant oversight in the appreciation of the architecture and analyses of the urban conditions in the country. Pretoria is the administrative capital of the Republic of South Africa and contains a substantial oeuvre of built works that is testament to the numerous international and local cultural influences. Thus, it was deemed necessary to present the architectural and artistic responses from the modernist period (late 1920s – 1970s). The Pretoria Regionalist style, sometimes styled as the Third Vernacular, is a contextually inspired, and unique Transvaal-esque mutation of the machined and purist aesthetic of the Modernist Movement (1920s – 1960s). This architectural oeuvre is presented within the historical context of the founding and evolution of South Africa. Hence, eight contextually appropriate and architecturally significant edifices representing the modernist architecture of the early 20th century are broadly discussed.
